Scientific paper

The Broad Band X Ray Telescope (BBXRT) is a new X ray spectrophotometer scheduled for launch Apr. 26, 1990, for a 10 day mission aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia. High quality spectra between 0.3 and 12 keV of about 100 different sources are expected. BBXRT has the best energy resolution for examining features due to the K-shell of Fe, seen in the spectra of X ray binaries. The resolution is sufficient to make sensitive searches for broadened emission lines, to resolve multiple features, and to determine the ionization state of the emitting plasma by measuring line energies. Simulated spectra of several sources are presented.
